ANTOINE GINGRAS (1821-1877) Fur Trader Did You Know That...? Volume 2 Snapshots ANTOINE GINGRAS (1821-1877) Fur Trader Honored Annually in Northeastern North Dakota Every year Walhalla celebrates "Gingras Day!" It is held in celebration of Antoine Gingras, an area entrepreneur who died in 1877. When Dakota Territory was created in 1861, Gingras was considered the richest man in the territory. He made most of his fortune by transporting animal hides, mostly buffalo, from what is now northeast North Dakota to St. Paul, a distance of 600 miles. He also had stores in Pembina, St. Joseph (now Walhalla), and Fort Garry (now Winnipeg), as well as a trading post near the Souris River. Gingras served in the Minnesota Territorial legislature in 1852 and 1853, participated in the 1869 rebellion led by Louis Riel against Canada, and had a county in Dakota Territory named after him. JOSEPH WHISTLER (1822-1898) Military Commander in Charge of Five Forts in What is Now North Dakota A man who was commander of several military posts in what is now North Dakota helped save the lives of countless starving Indians in the winter of 1867-68 and had a profound influence in the territories of Dakota and Montana from 1867 to 1888. Joseph Whistler was also the nephew of a woman whose portrait has been admired by millions of people for the past 135 years. His cousin, James Whistler, painted An Arrangement in Grey and Black, which is considered a masterpiece. The portrait is better known as Whistler's Mother. DONALD STEVENSON (1833-1908) Wagon Train Leader and North Dakota Legislator One of the greatest wagon train leaders in the history of the U.S. later became a North Dakota legislator. For twenty years, Donald Stevenson hauled people and supplies from St. Cloud, Minnesota to west-central Dakota Territory. His primary contractor was the U.S. Army. He later established his own company, which hauled supplies, people and gold between Bismarck and the Black Hills. FELIX VINATIERI (1834-1891) First Music Composer in What is Now North Dakota Colonel Custer’s bandmaster at Fort Abraham Lincoln later became one of America’s most celebrated composers of the 19th century. Felix Vinatieri was an extraordinary violin and coronet musician who composed memorable marches, waltzes, polkas, and other types of music. He also composed two of America’s earliest comic operas. In 1876, Felix left Fort Lincoln with Custer as they proceeded to look for Sitting Bull. However, for reasons that are not totally clear, he remained behind on the steamboat Far West when Custer engaged the Indians at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, a decision that may have had an impact on the outcome of two NFL Super Bowls over 120 years later. GILBERT PIERCE (1839-1901) Governor & U.S. Senator for Whom a North Dakota County is Named The person in the United States considered “the leading scholar” on Charles Dickens was elected to the U.S. Senate from North Dakota. Gilbert A. Pierce was an officer during the Civil War, Indiana state legislator, secretary of the U.S. Senate, novelist, playwright, newspaper editor, governor of Dakota Territory, and UND presidential designee prior to being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1889. After serving in the Senate, Pierce became managing editor and 50% owner of Did You Know That...? Volume 2 Snapshots the Minneapolis Tribune and was appointed minister to Portugal. He is also the person for whom Pierce County is named. RICHARD SYKES (1839-1923) Founder of Five North Dakota Towns Who Brought the Sport of Rugby to the U.S. One small town in North Dakota is associated with two people who were stars in two different sports. All sports fans are aware of Travis Hafner, born in Sykeston, who has had a tremendous impact on major league baseball. Fewer people know that Richard Sykes, Sykeston’s founder, is called “The Father of Rugby.” Sykes was the captain of the football (rugby) team at Rugby school in England and helped popularize the new game throughout England. When he first came to America in 1880 he is attributed more than anyone else with helping promote the game in this country. Rugby became so popular in the U.S. that this country won the gold medal, in 1920 and 1924; both times it was an Olympic event. Sykes is widely credited with introducing rugby in the U.S., but the game had been played here prior to 1880. One claim that does carry more merit is that he introduced the game of golf in what is now North Dakota when he built the first golf course. CHARLES BUTTZ (1839-1913) U.S. Congressman from South Carolina Made North Dakota Impact A former South Carolina Congressman later moved to northern Dakota Territory where he became a man of great political influence. Charles W. Buttz used his political clout to have Lisbon named the political seat of Ransom County and also persuaded the Northern Pacific Railroad to detour its branch line six miles off its intended route to go through Lisbon. Buttz was also accused by two U.S. Senators of trying to buy their votes on an 1894 tariff bill. His reputation untarnished, Buttz served three terms in the North Dakota Legislature. He and Rolland Redlin are the only two people to serve in the North Dakota Legislature after being members of the U.S. Congress. JOSIAH CHANCE (1839 - 1885) President Lincoln Bodyguard Established Camp Hancock In the 1870s, Lieutenant Josiah Chance and his sister Florence were two of the more colorful people in the Bismarck area. Lieutenant Chance had been one of President Lincoln’s personal bodyguards and was later sent to Dakota Territory to establish Camp Hancock. He was one of the few in the area to cash in on the Louisiana Lottery while it was in operation in the 1880s. Florence Chance was very close to her older brother, and her free-spirited ways stood out in the new frontier city of Bismarck. Florence later married Stanley Huntley, editor of the Bismarck Tribune and, after his death, became a noted newspaper writer and author. PETER SEIMS (1842-1917) From Bonanza Farm Sodbuster to America’s Largest Contractor The best known of the Red River Valley bonanza farm “sod busters” and manager of the Bismarck to Deadwood stage line later became a partner in reportedly “the largest contracting firm in America.” Through his work in constructing road beds for the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific Railroads, Peter Seims made tens of millions of dollars for his company. Did You Know That...? Volume 2 Snapshots GEORGE MORISON (1842-1903) Chief Engineer of North Dakota’s First Million Dollar Project The chief engineer who designed and supervised construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad Bridge, over the Missouri River at Bismarck, later helped convince President Theodore Roosevelt to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by digging a canal through Panama. George S. Morison was a Harvard educated lawyer working for a prestigious New York law firm when he decided to take up engineering. Although receiving no formal education in this field, at the time of his death in 1903, the Dictionary of American Biography stated, “He was regarded as the leading bridge engineer in America, perhaps in the world.” JOHN HAGGART (1846-1905) Father of West Fargo The first resident in what is now West Fargo was Fargo’s first sheriff, first fire marshal, and also sponsored the first bill passed by the North Dakota legislature. John Haggart accomplished many things and was known for prodigious strength and a warm, caring heart. FRANK PALMER (1847-1921) Pony Express Rider and North Dakota Legislator One of the youngest soldiers to take part in the Civil War, later became a pony express rider in Dakota Territory, filed the first land claim in Ramsey County, and served in the North Dakota state senate. The long and varied career of Frank Palmer, in what is now North Dakota, best illustrates the true pioneer spirit of the people who settled this state. JOHN McLEAN (1849-1916) Bismarck’s First Elected Mayor McLean County was named after the first elected mayor of Bismarck. John McLean was a successful early businessman in this new city and was faced with the challenge of major downtown land disputes during the early years of his administration. EATON BROTHERS Howard (1851-1922), Willis (1853-1929), Alden (1859-1937), Charles (1861-1946) Established Country’s First Dude Ranch The first “dude ranch” was organized in what is now North Dakota. It began with the Eaton Brothers who operated a ranch near Medora. BILLY BUDGE (1852-1938) The Rockefeller of the University of North Dakota One man, with very little education, but with determination and important political and economic connections saved the University of North Dakota. Because of the success William “Billy” Budge had in the mid-1890s in raising money to keep the University solvent, historian Louis Geiger in University of the Northern Plains labeled Budge, “The Rockefeller of the University of North Dakota.” Did You Know That...? Volume 2 Snapshots F. JAY HAYNES (1853-1921) First Official Photographer of Yellowstone Park The first official photographer of Yellowstone National Park owned and operated a photography studio in Fargo, North Dakota at the same time. F. Jay Haynes was a pioneer photographer in what is now North Dakota. The pictures he took of the luscious wheat fields of the Red River Valley, the Native Americans in their colorful attire, and the massive trains stirred excitement when they were published in a number of eastern journals. There is no doubt that Haynes played a major role in causing many people to decide to settle in northern Dakota Territory.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

  • History of North Dakota CHAPTER 22
    516 History of North Dakota CHAPTER 22 Cultural Growth and Adaptation: The Arts, Libraries, Newspapers, and Churches, 1920-1960 IN THE YEARS AFTER the First World War, both North Dakota and the nation witnessed the same cultural trends: the growth of high school and college enrollments, the decline of rural churches and the union of larger church bodies, increased use of libraries, the expansion of daily newspapers, the rapid acceptance of radio and, later, television, and a growing interest in the arts. In North Dakota, as in the nation, the larger urban places were the centers for cultural activities, and women and women’s clubs played a leading role in promoting many of them. While national trends were important, the cultural life of North Dakota was primarily shaped by the state’s rural character. Outside a dozen urban centers, the population was spread very thinly over a large area. Churches, newspapers, and libraries faced the problem of serving small numbers of widely separated people. To meet these needs, the pioneers had established many country churches, many weekly newspapers, and many library associations, so that by 1920, North Dakota had an oversupply of these and other cultural agencies. Many were too small and weak to survive or do effective work. What was needed was to tie the cultural life of the larger towns more thoroughly and intimately to the rural areas, to create in some way the large communities which automobiles and improved roads made possible. In other words, the state’s cultural life had to be adapted to existing environmental conditions.
